The following message was originally posted by Russ Filby, Turner Registrar, on the Turnersports Cars Web site on April 26:
Please be aware of an Email Scam that owners have reported to me made by unknown parties wishing to purchase Turners.
I understand this scam has been extensively reported on the MG Digest & Spridget Digest during the last year.
They pay you for your car with a forged cashiers check in an amount greater than you agreed to for the car. You are asked to send the difference either back to the buyer or more often give it to the shipper. They ask that you give the car to the shipper who will send it out of the country. When it all settles, and it is discovered by your bank that the check is forged. So you are out the car & the money.
Be aware and I would discourage all from replying to these emails. These have nothing to do with the Turner website or registry and should be avoided.
I recieved the following from a John Cole:
